- Sharing my technique for Instant Pot baked potatoes plus an extra step if you want to take your baked potatoes to the next level with crisp and salty skin. Enjoy!
Note: I misspoke after the potatoes cooked. I said "10 minutes cook time" when I meant "15 minutes cook time."
I used my 6qt Instant Pot (IP-DUO60 7-in-1) in this video. You can find it on Amazon here: amzn.to/2ii6tIK (affilink - thanks!)

Summary: Wash them, stab with fork a few times to avoid explosion, place in cooker with trivet( larger potatoes on bottom). add a cup of water, turn to High pressure for 15 minutes. Instant release
Johnny Blaze Johnny, thanks for the summary.
It's quicker in my microwave
@@ronaldtipton6035 .... unless you have lots to cook. But for a single person, you're right!
You can piggyback cook the potatoes with some leg quarters and set for 20 minutes and they all do fine.
Thanks Johnnny. I wish more folks doing a recipe video would do some TLDR instructions to reference along with the video.
Don't know how I lived without this for so long! I make dog food for 2 of our dogs ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg (we have 5!) and it is so much quicker in this. Love having the inner pot stainless so I can use my immersion blender right in it without worrying about scratching. It makes potatoes great and fast! Still working on the vegetables, first time came out great, second time I did different ones and they were a little too mushy. Just need to adjust the time. I highly recommend this pot!!!
You can always learn something new. Never knew about cutting an X on potatoes to peel easier. Thanks for the tip.
Works for tomatoes too
JUST FINISHED OUR WATER TEST AND EVERYTHING IS A GO. TOLD HUBBY WE COULD DO BAKED POTATOES AND YOU SHOWED UP AGAIN. ENJOY YOUR EASY TO UNDERSTAND VIDEOS. THANK YOU.
I appreciate all the help. Just wanted to say that I do this also and I usually cut them in half or quarter...I can fit more in the pot when they are all about the same size. I use manual about 10 minutes and then let it do a natural release. Everything comes out great.
I've just cooked potatoes like this for the second time just so I could cook them as per your video where you sliced them, coated them in oil and spices and revealed them. Needless to say they were a huge hit. Completely divine! I've had my instant pot for over 6 months and only used it a couple of times. But since finding your channel and your amazing recipes I have completely fallen in love with it. So thank you xxx
just bought mine last night. Been watching your videos and I feel more comfortable now. I have never used a pressure cooker
+Jason Dixon Glad to help!
Thank you for sharing this Indigo. I have the 7 qt newest duo and pierced my potatoes with a knife all the way thru just instead of cutting in half so I could spoon vegan chili into them after they were done. I used 2 cups of vegetable broth and a full pot of potatoes about 3/4 full. They came out perfect and I did the 15 min cook time and natural release. I will probably use white "baking" potatoes next time. We seasoned with salt when they were done. I'm learning to use my new pot.
I used to avoid potatoes a lot before getting my Instant Pot for Black Friday. I'd always take the easy way out and have packaged potatoes. Last year, I got a new blender and fell in love with creamy homemade potato soup, but not enough to like cooking potatoes.
But I also learned that my Instant Pot is great for cooking sweet potatoes, and that is what pushed me over the edge. Sweet potato pies, sweet potato cheesecakes, sweet potato bread, sweet potato soup with kale, sweet potatoes all by themselves, and the new recipe I'm researching is sweet potato cornbread.
Regular potatoes are okay, but pressure cooking really does make them easier to peel. Sweet potatoes peel even more easily when pressure cooked. So I now find myself looking for more potato recipes/videos every week. Love your tip about putting a cross on the potatoes before cooking.
Sweet potato corn bread sounds amazing! Yes, potatoes are so convenient in the IP. The hardest part is washing them! lol!
Yes, amazing is what I thought also! Especially since sweet potatoes have many health benefits. But I have to try other recipes because I'm not a big fan of the sweet potato cornbread I made. Awesome texture, but regular cornbread tastes better. Glad I have people anxiously waiting for my latest baking experiments - more than happy to give some away. Although I suspect regular cornbread is more versatile as it complements more foods.
Instant pots are such a blessing
i am home with a sick family, Wife, and teenaged daughter and son: am the only one that didn't get sick this week. They whined about having mashed potatoes. I used this video and i am a family hero. They are loving them.
Yeah! Nil! I was perusing IP baked potato recipes and ran away from the first video with the music and flash cards. Indigo KNOWS how to do a great video! Very instructional, but not an ongoing motor mouth. Go Nil! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 (Great explanation on the cook time depending on potato size). That’s really why I’m here. Now, I don’t have to waste my time on other videos.
I.N. You are a pro! I’d never handle a hot potato in my bare hands...but, I’m a chicken and not the pro you are. We’re always teasing my mother in law, who had 9 children. She’s 92 y.o. now, still lives independently and very well. She still loves to cook. We call herb”asbestos hands” because she’ll grab almost anything right out of the oven bare handed! We just look at each other and laugh! Nil, by the time you’re 92, I’ll bet you’ll be able to dance on hot coals! 🔥
Best baked potato with crunchy skins are baked in the oven using olive oil, salt, pepper around 45-60 minutes. I find my Instant Pot cooks food faster but not as good as the old school way. My Keureg coffee maker is fast and easy but not as great as our espresso machine for making cappuccinos.
Wow this helped Soo much, especially that peeling technique. Definitely a thumbs up.
Thanks! I was wondering how to cook potatoes in an Intsapot. Yours is the best description I’ve found.
My Russet potatoes were starting to sprout, so I cooked them tonight. I did 3 in my new Instant Pot, 2 in the oven at 450F and 1 in the microwave. There didn't seem to be any significant differences in texture etc. It was a fun experiment. They were medium size potatoes and took 18 minutes to cook through at 5100 feet elevation in the IP. I will definitely do the IP again. So far, I've made great Quinoa and brown rice. My primary reason for using the IP is to cook dried beans but haven't done that yet.
I love my Instant Pot and cook potatoe cubes and eggs together when I make potato salad. I just tried a recipe for dry pinto beans from Cooking with Claudia channel and they are just to die for!! No soaking required.
I see this is an old video so i hope you get to see the comment. What a great idea! I've had them in the oven and the microwave. Also wrapped them in foil for the Bar-by. This by far is the simplest, fastest way I have seen.
Hey CCC ( Cute Cooking Chick ) love the video. Love the Instant pot too, my favorite cooking apparatus by far. Just a thought, have you tried making a slice (full circumference) around the middle of the potato, instead of the X. On sweet potatoes the method I mentioned works great, you can just pinch the ends and the meat of the potato comes out easy!
I love your channel! Just started to use my instant pot and your recipe videos have given me such confidence!
skyscraperiloveyou me too!!
Another first-timer for you. Just got an Instapot for my birthday. So far I’ve burned brown rice and reduced beans to mush. You give me hope! 🤪 🤩😜. Thanks.
I will never make baked potatoes any other way! I've done this twice now, and they are so good. The extra step makes them so delicious...I use coarse sea salt and it is so good. Thanks!
Since I have had my IP this is the only way I cook potatoes now. I had to make 10lbs of potato salad for a function. IP totally saved me.
GOOD TO KNOW. Safer than dealing with pot boiling water (and not waterlog them) I switched to microwaving any tates for potato salad with good results but can't wait to try the IP way now
Omgggggggggggg excellent idea!
Your videos are wonderful! You make everything so easy to understand. I just got my Instant Pot today and tried the hard boiled eggs after watching your channel. Easy as can be and oh my goodness....they were easy to peel and perfect to eat. Thank you!
great orator and teacher
when I boil my potatoes I always poke with a metal BBQ skewer crosswise and completely through each tater. And when they are done, put them in very cold water. Right away, leave them there for a minute or two. Then peeling is a breeze. My mom taught me that when I was a little girl and helped her always in the kitchen. It works.
So glad I found your channel honey.
Have been watching a lot of different videos this
past week & some are so technical, not really
understandable or just plain boring.
I appreciate your do it, show it, explain it & we’re done.
And a huge plus is I can hear you. Seems some folks
put their mics in the other room and then start filming.
Thank you🎈
Just bought the new 3qt model Instant Pot, for RV use. First use, was a roast, with fixn's, and it was delicious! Thanks for the baked potato tips. I use "baked" potatoes for a potato casserole, topped with white cheddar cheese, and thick cut bacon bits. Peeling the tators is a pain, before ricing. Great egg demo too. Ted
I never poke potatoes and every time are cooked beautifully
I agree as the food is under pressure and won't explode like it would in the microwave.
America's Test Kitchen says it's not necessary too.
Asbestos fingers!!! Quick & easy!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your videos!
I have just discovered IP and I am waiting for it to be delivered.
My cooking confidence level is set at toast.
I can't wait to try my first recipe!
That would be a good way to Cook potatoes for when you're making potato salad
Also for homefries!
No long waiting time required, no X-cutting either. I learned already as little kid that you take the boiled potatoes and put them into a bowl with cold water. Let sit in the cold water for a few of minutes, the skin is going to swoosh off without any effort. Works every single time, doing it this way for decades. You are welcome.
Thanks for sharing.. You make using the Instant Pot look so easy! I hope to see more recipes from you.. Thanks!
I had never used an instant pot, and you helped me make amazing baked potatoes. My coworkers were happy campers!
I always come back to this video to get the timing for Instant Pot baked potatoes. I just do a search on "baked potato" and up come the tutorial. I like that you always include the name of what you are cooking in the title so it is easy to find the recipe with a simple search. Thanks again for the instant pot tutorials and all your other stuff too. I could do without the weekly calendar thing where you spend way to long creating a todo list, but that's probably just my male prejudice. My with things it's great because she's into scrapbooking too, but I just enter my todo list on a simple spreadsheet that I keep on my computer desktop and scratch them off, one-by-one by changing the font to include "strikethrough" on the cell.
glad I found you. love my Instant pot.
When making gnocchi, cook the potatoes with the skins on. When they are done, use a heavy fabric serviette or kitchen towel to easily rub off the skins before ricing the potatoes.
As ALWAYS!! Great Practical and informative useful Tips on how to use IP.
Thank you!!
Thanks, I need that! I'm so new to the instant pot but learning every day....... Mo
thank you for taking the time and sharing your thoughts about how use and cook. i got 3 boys and love the instant pot. i love your video all the idea. thanks.
Yum my husband would love, I actually put garlic pepper and sea salt sometimes to give a kick I add hot paprika. Thanks for the idea
I absolutely love your channel keep up the good work
I've seen videos where you score the potato alll the way around the middle of the potato before baking. When cool you grasp the potato with both hands and twist in opposite directions and the peel comes right off. I've haven't tried it yet though.
Why did you put them in the oven?
All your videos are usefully. You're an awesome instant pot teacher.
Love this! Great to make fresh potatoes for potato salad!
Thanks for sharing the wonderful tips.
thank you! just made them and they came out prefect. I don't mind the skin but my hubby is not a fan, so the cross trick is everything!!🤗
Best boiled, baked potato method without using any aluminum foil.
I've read that you don't need to use a fork on the potatoes; they don't cook like they do in the microwave. Anytime I've seen salt added on the outside of a potato, it's sea salt or large grain kosher salt. Table salt might be a little too salty, but whatever you like for your tastes! Enjoyed this video.
I like your channel. You add the KISS to instant Pot cooking. Others use the IP for just the minimum of uses with lots of "messing around" with other pans and stuff.
OOHHHH.......so very excited!!!! I have potatoes in the cupboard now😊. Looking VERY forward to your video tomorrow???? about what to do with the leftover cooked potatoes!! LOVE your videos 😄
All your videos are great and has helped me in my cooking adventure. Thank you!
It's nice way to do the spuds! I did a half dozen two nights ago, so easy!
WAY TO GO...!!!!...GONNA TRY 4 TONIGHT...THANX FOR THE VIDEO...
Never knew about making an x on a potatoe. Better late then never. Thank you.
You do a great job on your videos! Thanks
Your videos have helped using my new Instant Pot. Many thanks.
LOVE the tip to cut an X to make easy peeling. Thanks!
Thank you for doing your instant pot videos, just bought mine on Black Friday. Need all the help I can get. Love all of your videos.
+Pamela Lopez You're welcome! Glad to help! 😊
Thank you for this share. I always make really bad baked potatoes. No more. Love your videos
Thank you Nili, i'm looking forward to doing this.
I'm getting an Instant Pot soon. Thanks for the great tips!!
Really good sprinkled with garlic salt.
I'm going to try this. Many people keep asking if you add water even though at 1:14 you say that you added 1-2 cups of water. I missed it and rewatched the video. I would have liked to see you add a cup or two of water and not miss this step. I like the way the peelings come off easily. Thank you.
Awesome will try this later this week. Thank you for the tip and video.
Javier Hernandez I
To fast peel the potatoes, The ones you did the X on. When you take out drop into a bowl of ice cold water for a few seconds. The skin will come right off then. But have to say I cant see the point in doing what your doing for the actual baked potatoes. Just wash , pierce and salt before sticking in the microwave to cook. And if need be, then stick in the oven for crispier outside.
Great tips!
I have been cooking mine for 40 mins in the Instant Pot but I have been using a steamer basket. Maybe that is the issue. I am going to try them with the trivet! Thanks for the video! They look great!
The steamer basket works great for potatoes. I would say your issue was cooking them 40 minutes, 😘
Thanks for sharing your boiled egg in the Instant Pot.
I learn so much from you. Thanks for all your videos 😘😊🎉
Thank you for the video. You have a good sense of humour.
I actually peel my potatoes and pressure cook and just take them out to cool. Do not run under water just let them cool on their own . Easy peasy.
Learning so much about my instant pot from you
That was very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for the advice
I will try to use this
Thanks , Awesome video :)
Awesome job. Yum😋
thanks for vid. I tried to cook potatoes in instant Pot and did not add any water. No where in manual in the how to section does it say I needed to add water. Then I read the very back in the safety section and it said to always at 18 oz of water to anything being cooked. You think they'd put that in the front section.
Yeah, the manual leaves a little to be desired. lol!
@@lokidurden6473 Adding water is common sense if one has used pressure cookers before. However, if not, they need assistance not criticism.
Sandra, No need to criticize Robert...you're like the pot calling the kettle black. Robert is right. Whenever you get a new appliance regardless of what it is, the manual should be read cover to cover. Swankster should have known better, so back off of criticizing Robert.
Robert, you're absolutely right. Swanster should have read the manual cover to cover! Duh, right?!
As far as useful information when and where one needs it, the manual for my Magic Chef cooker is about as vague as can be. That's why I've consulted channels like this one. She's been at this awhile, and seems to know what she's doing. Thank heaven for people who share their knowledge!
Great peel trick!
Good vid I never peel my potatoes.....peel is so good
Awesome tips. Thank you.
❤ good video. If I sear some onions can I add the steamed potato. I love a mixture onion carrots 😋 oh cabbage too.
Yum! So far I’ve seen three favorites of my foods: eggs, cheesecake and now potatoes. All from a favorite appliance. Hmmm, I think I will try the baking in the Omni Plus. The Kneady Homesteader uses baked potatoes in her potato salad, rather than boiled potatoes. I do realize this video is a few years old, but good simple food is timeless!
Do you use a countertop oven? I do because of fibromyalgia and back injury. Bending over for a traditional oven can be difficult. Plus, cooking for one or two is simple that way. Love hearing your babies in the background!
I love my countertop airfryer! I use it everyday ☺️
@@IndigoNili Hi again Nili! I wanted to mention, too, that vintage crockpots had an accessory rack to elevate meats, etc. with the label Rival. I have each of the two sizes and one fits the six quart InstantPot, the other fits the three quart very nicely. They are my favorite racks. Just in case you happen to come across any in yard sales, thrift shops etc. I have the two sizes of the cake baking pots too, but I haven't checked to see if they fit for PIP cooking... So far I am enjoying your videos, you make cooking seem like "of course, why didn't I think of that". Your babies are beautiful!
Great video, as always ❤
Very nice video thank you for sharing
nice potatoes
That looks good enough to eat!
Yum! I cooked sweet potatoes for dog food today lol.
lucky dogs. most humans don't eat that healthy lol
I need to get one of these pots
I will look around and see what ones we have in the uk
Wilko sell a model @£30
Enjoyed this. Thank you. I will try potatoes in my IP. :)
15 minutes for 2 large Russetts and they were still hard as a rock. Due to my high altitude I have to add significant time to every recipe.
great video, thanks for sharing
I am not much of a cook but theoretically it should not be necessary to put larger potatoes near the bottom where the water is. Steam is hotter than water so the rising steam should distribute the heat fairly uniformly to all surfaces of the potatoes.
The heating elements are in the bottom of the pot. Things nearest the heating element cook the fastest. It doesn't have to do with water vs. steam.

no need to poke potatoes cooked in the Instant Pot, Only need to poke if cooking in the microwave to release steam. since Microwave cooks from the inside out, unlike Instant pot that cooks from the outside in, Just like you wouldn't poke a baked potato cooked in the oven.
Trying using one cup of chicken broth instead of water! So yumm
U get the same sunburn as me, the sunglass tan lines. :)
great instruction!!
Thanks for sharing !
Very good. Thank you
Love you gal. I am going to add shrimp, broccoli and Alfredo on top on mine for dinner for me and my daughter.
Yum! 🤤
